Quinn Cook on G League rise: ‘I think it made me more hungry’

Warriors PG joins ‘The Damon Bruce Show’ to discuss his breakout year

Quinn Cook, the biggest surprise of the Warriors regular season, swung by “The Damon Bruce Show” on Friday to discuss an assortment of topics, including his emergence from G League star to guaranteed deal with the reigning champs.

“I was always fine because I was playing basketball and I was a professional basketball player — even though I’m making $2,400 a month — that wasn’t my concern,” Cook said on 95.7 The Game. “My concern was about getting better every day and trying to get to my dream.”

“And, I think that when I was down there I used it as a tool, I used it as a stage to kind of prepare myself for the NBA. And I think it made me more hungry, coming from being a McDonald’s All-American and being an All-American at Duke and winning a national championship.”

“I went down there as the underdog and I still have that mentality that I’m the underdog and I never want to go back. And I just know that I belong in the NBA for a long time.”
